The Man with Hypnotic Powers Doesn't Hold Back the Second Time Around-Chapter 273

For people like us, time spent in the academy was unnecessary.

We were already busy enough as it was.

"My husband is busy with other things, after all."

"...Wait, is dad going on another business trip?!"

"Yep. This time, it's to the U.S."

I was especially busy, but well, that couldn’t be helped.

The position of future association president was no small thing.

And there were mountains of tasks I had to handle.

Today, I had to fly to the U.S. to film a hypnosis therapy mad movie.

I could kind of understand how Kkong felt now.

'Kkong, I miss you… It’s been five days since you left for Vietnam and didn’t come back. When will you return?'

"Well, I’ll be on my way soon."

After saying my goodbyes to my wives,

I trudged onto the plane.

It was a private jet sent by the U.S. just for me. Straight there.

And the person who greeted me when I arrived was...

"Yujin! Long time no see!"

"...Sibylla!?"

With sharp teeth gleaming in a wide grin stood my sixth wife—Sibylla.

***

A day earlier.

Sibylla roughly tossed the chainsaw in her hand.

Beneath her, a group of villains lay defeated.

"...Huff. Mission complete."

"Impressive, Captain! You wiped out the villain organization causing trouble in the hoods in just one day!"

"It's nothing compared to that EX-Class Gate incident."

"You're amazing!!"

The special awakened task force was singing her praises.

It was only natural.

In a city with low security, this notorious villain organization had been executing humans in cahoots with criminal gangs.

And she wiped them all out in a single morning.

It was clear why everyone was looking up to her in awe—S-Class was truly on another level.

"Truly the Saintess!!!"

"Even High Priest Ellington can't approach someone so noble!!!"

"..."

‘I didn't realize there were Jushin Church followers in the team.’

...Some reactions were especially loud.

Sibylla's other title: the second Saintess of the Jushin Church.

A position she had been given as an honorary title thanks to Yujin's prior negotiations.

The reactions from Jushin Church followers when they saw her were something else.

Their worship was so over-the-top that even Sibylla felt embarrassed.

The sourc𝗲 of this content is freēwēbηovel.c૦m.

"I'm not a Saintess."

"If you're not the Saintess, then how did you uncover the villains' base that even the FBI couldn't?!"

"Exactly! How did you catch those villains who kept escaping even when we barely got a lead? It’s incredible!! Saintess, you're amazing!!!"

"..."

‘Well, there’s no denying it. She really did pull it off like a Saintess would.’

The credit for this success mainly went to Mir, who had provided divine revelations.

She had pinpointed the villains' exact location.

Of course, Sibylla didn’t know Mir’s true identity.

She thought Mir was just a "Saintess," not a god. But still, her connection to the Jushin Church was undeniable.

It was hard to argue against calling her a Saintess.

‘If it weren't for the divine penalty, I’d be telling people she’s the Saintess herself... sigh.’

"Anyway. Lock them all up and send them to Washington."

"Roger!"

Though it was a bit of a hassle for Sibylla, the villain purge was completed successfully.

When the report reached President Morrison, a smile spread across his face.

"Already a thousand Awakened—no, villains—have gathered in the temporary villain detention center? Got it. I’ll take care of it."

Beep beep.

[Yujin, if you’re not too busy...]

This was a request for treatment sent to Yujin.

As expected, Yujin immediately accepted.

True to his personality, he hated owing people, so he told them to send a plane, and he’d visit right away.

The thought of his approval ratings rising made him smile broadly.

"Mr. President, may I also take the private jet?"

"Hmm? Well, Yujin will be coming here anyway. There’s no need for you to go..."

"..."

"Ha ha. We'll keep the team to a minimum. I wish you a good time."

"Thank you, Mr. President♡"

Sibylla smiled happily.

She was already looking forward to the ‘good time’ she would have during the long flight.

"Yujin!? Wait, why did you come? I was about to go to the U.S. anyway."

"I just wanted to see you a little more♡"

"I mean, even so, it’s a half-day flight."

"That means I get to monopolize you for half a day…♡"

"...."

‘Looks like our cute wife has been building up a lot of desire.’

Though Yujin found it a bit awkward to experience his first flying mating session,

it wasn’t much different for him, considering all the things he’d done in Buckingham Palace, his in-laws' house, and even his office.

"Hypos-chan, go to the cockpit and enjoy the view."

"Hehe~ Master, do you need help? One just won't be enough, will it~?"

"Don’t eat anything or we’ll get in trouble. Alright, Sibylla. Let’s go."

"Yes♡"

And so, the two of them spent a joyful time together.

They kept it up all the way to the U.S.

"...Huff, huff♡"

"Sibylla, do you think you can stand?"

"I can't...♡"

"I figured as much. I'll carry you."

"...Hold me♡ Just like you did with Ninomiya♡"

"Princess carry, huh? Of course, my princess."

When they got off the plane, the two of them descended as one.

Sibylla, unable to move, was lovingly cradled in Yujin’s arms.

And what Yujin didn’t know was that...

———This was a hugely shocking act to the reporters gathered at the airport.

"Seo Yujin!! Snap... Hah!?"

"What's wrong? What... Hah!"

"Sibylla is being bridal carried by Yujin!!!"

The Princess Carry. In America, it’s known as the ‘Bridal Carry.’

For Yujin, it was just a casual move...

But for the Americans?

This was the classic pose where the groom lifts his bride.

The name itself literally translates to 'bride carry.'

And here they were, showing it off at the airport.

Seo Yujin, doing this with Sibylla.

The reporters were completely bewildered.

They couldn’t understand the significance of what was happening.

"Could it be that they’re engaged and trying to announce it...?"

The first thought that crossed their minds was simply that they were dating.

It was the most obvious conclusion as soon as they saw them.

Sibylla’s flushed cheeks and short, quick breaths.

Everything about her screamed like a woman in love.

No, this was definitely a pose only a couple would do.

"Did you forget that Seo Yujin said he liked one of those three?"

"...Ah. Then, it must not be the case."

"Right. Seo Yujin wouldn’t do something like that."

However, people were quick to dismiss this possibility.

Yujin’s solid image up until now had sparked a lot of confusion.

"So, what exactly does this mean...?"

"Maybe it’s a sign of cooperation between the Awakened of the U.S. and Korea? He's the next association president, so it’s probably a gesture showing his future intentions."

"If it were just about that, holding hands would’ve been enough. There must be something else behind the way he’s carrying her."

"Hmm… Maybe it’s a religious message for the Jushin Church. He’s revered as a saint, and Sibylla is the 'second saintess,' right?"

"Oh, that’s an interesting hypothesis."

Under this massive misunderstanding, the reporters began digging into Yujin’s every move.

They believed his actions had some profound meaning and that it was a message for the U.S.

"......?"

‘Why are they all acting like this? Is it their first time seeing someone who's sick?’

Of course, the one responsible had no clue.

To him, this was just a simple princess carry.

A pose he did occasionally—no big deal.

He didn’t even realize that in America, this was called a 'bride carry.'

He continued walking, unfazed.

"This is Kevin Lee from CNC! Seo Yujin, can we ask about this...?"

"I'm busy. No interviews."

‘Can’t they see that my wife’s tired? Do they have no eyes?’

He swiftly declined all the interview requests.

Seo Yujin, of all people.

The reporters were left dumbfounded.

"Wait, he did that and still refuses the interview?!"

"What on earth does it mean...?"

Some were still wondering what this all meant.

"...Well, he did come here to work for the U.S. He can’t afford to waste time on interviews."

"Even now, villains and their families are probably still suffering."

"Truly a saint, someone the Jushin Church holds in reverence!!"

"Seo Yujin!!!!"

Some of them began to worship him habitually.

As usual, it was the Jushin Church followers leading the way.

And Yujin unknowingly fanned the flames of their reactions.

"Ugh! This is amazing..."

"My soulmate, let's go quickly."

"I’ll show you the 16-hit hypnosis rush, Master~."

Ding.

[Skill 'Complete Hypnosis+' is...]

"...Where is this?"

"Woahhhhhh!!!!"

A cheer erupted at the five characters "villain normalization."

The Americans trembled with excitement.

Not just the Jushin Church members, but even ordinary people were caught up in it.

...It may have seemed excessive, but it wasn’t an overreaction at all.

Thanks to Seol Hayeon, Korea had suffered fewer villain casualties, but elsewhere, villains were literal cancers eating into society.

In America alone, the number of deaths caused by villains easily exceeded the thousands.

And yet, Yujin was treating them.

He was turning them back into normal Awakened.

It was no surprise that the crowd erupted in cheers.

The American flag fluttered proudly in their hearts.

"If you don’t vote for Morrison next election, you’re a traitor!!"

"Seo Yujin!! Seo Yujin!!! Morrison!!!"

"Long live the Korea-U.S. alliance!!!"

Shivering.

"Mr. President, you have to stop smiling."

"It's not easy, huh."

As a result, Morrison, who was accompanying them, was caught in a smile suppression challenge.

"If it’s too hard to hold back, should I poke you with magic? Just a little on the tip of your pinky toe."

"Please... ugh!!!"

Sibylla, who was assisting him, used a little shock therapy.

Thanks to her, Morrison became a president with both immense political skill and humanity.

But Yujin had no idea about any of it.

To him, he was just focused on villain normalization.

‘If it takes 10 seconds per person, that’s 2 hours for 1,000 people... I need to finish quickly and go say hi to Sibylla’s father!!’

Hurrying.

"Wow...!!!"

"To perform such miracles while remaining so serious. I would’ve at least tried to act a little important."

"Saint, you’re too noble…!!!!"

Once again, all attention shifted back to Yujin.

Most of the cameras turned to follow him.

Except for a few.

‘I’ll target the niche market!!’

"Sibylla, Awakened. This is Kevin Lee from CNC."

The reporter who was harshly rejected earlier shouted from a distance.

He managed to get past the security and made his voice heard.

Sibylla’s eyes subtly turned toward him.

"...Mr. President?"

"Ugh... I don’t care, let her answer it herself. I trust she’ll handle it well."

"Yes. What’s the matter?"

After receiving permission from the visibly exhausted Morrison,

she willingly agreed to the interview.

A smile spread across her lips.

"Was there any particular meaning behind the way you were carried by Seo Yujin like that when entering the country?"

"...Hehe♡"

Unlike Yujin, who had no clue, she knew exactly what it meant.

But the reason she had asked to be carried...

‘It’s because I’m going to announce our engagement soon, and I felt like I was falling behind the other wives♡’

"When Yujin takes office as the association president, there will be a major announcement. Please wait for that."

To ignite the media fire first,

this was a small, somewhat unfair trick Sibylla had come up with, given her relatively weak position.

[Hmm? Sibylla, was something going on over there? I heard cheering.]

[Nothing at all♡]

[Hmm. Alright then.]

‘Morrison must have done some nationalistic interview or something.’

Of course, Yujin didn’t notice anything that day, and only realized after returning to Korea.

As a result, he was squeezed for breaking the "agreement" between his wives.

After that, a strange tension started brewing between them.

But in the end, it was still Yujin’s fault.

"…Kkong, even you!!!!?"
